    They're good by WCHA standards.

    There must be drinking. Lots of drinking. MTU has no women, what else are they to do? NMU has women, but they've seen the men. What else are they to do?

              Is there such a thing as an honest-to-goodness blue-collar commercial fishing, sailing or dock worker's bar in Marquette, or is that a thing of the past?

                Gee I thought you lost to a wcha team this year. Must be dreaming I guess. Never mind.

                Cornell played UAH I believe last year, so they are already familiar with the WCHA.

                          This. In future trips, we would try and force people to take the left lane into Houghton, and that intersection, just to f with them. Make them go into Hancock.

                              LOL. They "improved it" several times. What year(s) did you encounter it?

                              Honestly, it is no worse than "5 corners" in the Minnesota town I grew up in. With everyone being "Minnesota Nice" no one would go because they didn't want to be rude and go out of turn. (Plus everyone knew everyone and would talk about how rude they were.)

                                I don't see the big deal? Driving on what I assume is snow packed on top of black ice is always fun, but something you're also going to run into anywhere north of 43 degrees.
